Thank you very much, Dr. Pinhas and Dr. McVey, for joining us today and sharing your very important work and your research.
Dr. Pinhas, I'm very interested in your book, “Developing a feminist-informed model for decision making in the treatment of adolescent eating disorders”.
People with anorexia will sometimes refuse treatment by doctors. I'm wondering if you believe it is ethical to intervene against their will. What kind of ramifications does this have on a larger feminist framework which values informed consent? I'm wondering how your book addresses this tension.
